You could also set up a wg server, have both clients connect to it and then pass data between the two IPs. There's still a central relay passing data around, NAT or no NAT.

rfl890··on My open source project was relicensed by a YC company [license updated]
That's the caveat, the contract you sign when you start an open source project. You have to have the mindset of simply not giving a fuck about who does what with your code and how much they make from it. Then you can be at peace. If you don't want to (or can't) adopt that mindset for a particular project or at all, that's completely fine and normal. OSS is not for you. As soon as you want compensation for your work, things start to go south. See the whole core-js situation and what went down for an example.
rfl890··on My open source project was relicensed by a YC company [license updated]
Well, if you're writing open source because you want to write open source, then none of this matters. If you are worried about corporations stealing your work, that should drive you away from OSS. OSS should stay "hobbyist" for the individual developer.

This was published after TFA, how is it the original?
rfl890··on Resurrecting flip phone typing as a Linux driver
YMMV. I rocked a flip phone (ZTE Cymbal) for 5 years and only just recently learnt it was called T9, in modern days I don't think it's such a common term.
rfl890··on Resurrecting flip phone typing as a Linux driver
the library is named libt9, I believe the author is aware of this...
rfl890··on Using Microsoft's New CLI Text Editor on Ubuntu
Just wondering, why did you make an entire container image instead of trying to compile it from source first?
rfl890··on Show HN: dk – A script runner and cross-compiler, written in OCaml
Thank you for your response. I don't feel that you unnecessarily exposed anything, just that not much explanation was given. Take a look at The Rust Programming Language's "getting started" section[1]. The installation steps are clear, the code is deconstructed and explained, and you are made familiar with the basic CLI tooling. Looking at yours, installation steps are clear, but I'm just given commands and code to paste with no explanation as to what it all does. Sure, I could go browse the man pages, but it's easier to ease into reading manual pages after a gentle beginner's explanation.

Although, given that you mentioned teaching, maybe the page is intended to be presentation-style (less information on the page, more to be explained vocally)? But you can correct me if I'm wrong.

rfl890··on Show HN: dk – A script runner and cross-compiler, written in OCaml
I'm very confused at first glance. What are "coder scripts"? Why is "std" repeated 3 times in "dk StdStd_Std.Run"? What on earth is "Tr1Stdlib_V414Io"? The entire tool comes off as arbitrary and confusing, at least to me. I would really quite appreciate a brief primer on the language and its design decisions, architecture and syntax. So far, I'm just having assorted bits of information thrown at me with no real structure.

(Note: I have never touched OCaml. Is this some weird OCaml thing?)
